Cuccinelli says he doesn't plan to repay Williams gifts

This comes after Governor Bob McDonnell apologized and promised to pay back more than a hundred thousand dollars worth of gifts to donors.

RICHMOND, Va. -

Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli says he's glad Gov. Bob McDonnell is returning all the gifts he received from a major political donor. But he has no plans to repay the more than $18,000 in gifts he received from the same benefactor.

Cuccinelli told reporters Wednesday that Star Scientific CEO Jonnie Williams didn't give him the kind of gifts that can be returned. Among the gifts from Williams listed in Cuccinelli's financial disclosure statements are a $1,500 catered Thanksgiving dinner, private jet trips and vacation lodging. Cuccinelli said, "There are some bells you can't unring."

The Republican candidate for governor made the remarks the day after McDonnell announced he and his family are returning all their gifts and repaying $125,000 in business and personal loans from Williams.

A vulgar Facebook post sharing comments about Noah Thomas upset a lot of people on social media. As revenge, someone posted what they thought was the poster's home address -- but it's incorrect. The family that lives at the address posted fears for their lives.
